    My First Stand-up - The story of a 38year old man who makes poor financial decisions.

    So I replaced my start/stop harness (and ordered a Thrustone surf switch!) and I noticed that the bottom housing has what appears to be a drain hole in it. Is this supposed to be open or plugged?? should the switch housing itself be water-tight?

    I'm just trying to get comfortable enough so I feel ready for Pismo by October. I would lose my ski if I tried to ride surf right now lol

    Everyone keeps saying more time in the tray is key, so I've just been trying to get my reps in and haven't gotten too discouraged. I've been shooting for 2 rides per week minimum so hopefully I continue to progress with consistent practice. I've considered picking up a stock round nose or...

    My First Stand-up - The story of a 38year old man who makes poor financial decisions.

    Had the opportunity to compare my ski to something more forgiving and it was pretty eye opening to say the least. I am definitely getting better at riding my ski, I have deep water starts down pretty well (both popping up both knees into the tray and going as well as one knee in the tray and...

    Ride Report #2 I did much better with the longer ride plate... initially. I think after several falls and deep water starts I got water in the ski that made it a bit more unstable and paired with muscle fatigue made it a little hard to stay up. After about 20 mins or so i couldn't get the ski...

    My First Stand-up - The story of a 38year old man who makes poor financial decisions.

    I still haven't gotten this thing in the water yet... Turns out loading it onto my hitch hauler is harder than I expected. My truck is lifted 6" on 35's and my garage cart is not nearly tall enough for that combo to begin with, so when I back my truck up my sloped driveway the distance between...

    lol not yet, but hopefully this week and/or weekend! I got some @TurfSaverz last week, and my retractable stainless ratchet straps are out for delivery today, so I'm almost dialed in for hitch hauling. If I get out of work on time I'm going to try to be at the Pittsburg marina for Wet...

    You gonna supervise and help tune? lol i don't know what I'm doing!!! Is it warm in Chico yet? It's in the 60's in the Bay but the delta water is probably pretty cold right now.

    Header installed! I forgot that I hadn't re-turfed my gas tank yet so I didn't complete assembly last weekend, but hopefully I have time and motivation to wrap this thing up this week and maybe I'll do a first start video this weekend.
